The Team
Our artists bring years of mastery, diverse specialisms, and an unrelenting passion for the craft.
Blackwork · Ornamental
Founder of OldSkool Tattoo, Mowaim blends bold blackwork, ornamental detailing, and a confident feminine edge into pieces that feel classic, powerful, and deeply personal.
Fine Line · Realism
Precision and delicacy define Ren's approach. Specialising in ultra-fine linework and photorealistic portraiture that defies belief.
Neo-Traditional · Colour
A love of Renaissance art and street culture collide in Luca's bold, saturated neo-traditional compositions. Each piece is a study in drama and colour theory.
What We Do
From concept to completion, every service is delivered with uncompromising precision and care.
Fully bespoke designs crafted around your vision. Our artists collaborate with you from first sketch to final needle, ensuring a piece that's uniquely yours.
Precision piercings using only implant-grade titanium and 14k gold jewellery. From classic lobes to complex ear curation — executed with surgical care.
Transform regrets into masterpieces. Our cover-up specialists assess, advise, and deliver solutions that honour the skin's history while creating something new.
Breathe new life into faded or aged work. Our restoration service uses premium pigments to reinvigorate detail, contrast, and longevity.
Why OldSkool
Our collective has been recognised at London Tattoo Convention, Amsterdam Ink Fest, and featured in Skin Deep Magazine three years running.
We never use flash designs. Every piece begins with a consultation — your body, your story, your artwork. Nothing is replicated.
Autoclave-sterilised environments, single-use needles, medical-grade surfaces. We exceed industry standards as a baseline, not a benchmark.
From Cheyenne Hawk machines to Eternal Ink pigments — we invest in the finest tools so you experience less trauma and superior results.
The Process
Three steps from first conversation to finished piece. No surprises, no pressure.
Tell us your idea — a reference, a feeling, a rough sketch on a napkin. We'll listen, ask the right questions, and figure out exactly what you want. No judgement, no upsells.
Your artist drafts a custom piece built around your body, your idea, and their expertise. We refine until it's exactly right. You approve every line before a needle touches skin.
Session day. Sterile setup, premium pigments, and an artist who's as focused on your comfort as they are on the work. We'll walk you through aftercare so your piece heals perfectly.
Client Love
Don't take our word for it. Here's what people walk out saying.
Walked in with a vague idea and walked out with something I'll carry forever. Mo understood the brief in like five minutes — the final piece was beyond anything I'd imagined.
Arjun S.
The studio is immaculate, the team is calm and professional, and the work speaks for itself. Got a cover-up done that I thought was impossible. They made it look easy.
Priya M.
First tattoo and I was nervous as hell. The consultation put me completely at ease. They were honest about placement, size, and healing — zero pressure. The result is perfect.

Our Story
"I didn't want to open another tattoo shop. I wanted to open a place where people could trust that what they walked out with was genuinely theirs — a piece of art, not a product."
OldSkool Tattoo was founded in 2014 in New Delhi by master tattooist Mowaim Chakraborty, who built the studio around fearless design, precise execution, and a love for timeless tattoo culture. What began as an intimate custom studio has grown into a destination for clients seeking bold, character-rich work.
Every artist at OldSkool Tattoo is chosen for both technical mastery and a distinct artistic voice. We believe that when you sit in our chair, you deserve an artist who treats your skin like a lifelong canvas and your idea like it truly matters.
